🎉 VideoSquash Pro Desktop – First Public Release

The desktop companion you've been waiting for. VideoSquash Pro now runs natively on Windows using a full FFmpeg binary. Compress videos of any size – 30 GB, 50 GB and beyond – entirely offline, in batch, with real‑time progress and full privacy.

This is the first stable release and the definitive tool for heavy‑duty video compression without uploading a single byte.

✨ Features

• No file size limits – compresses 30 GB+ files effortlessly by streaming directly from disk (never loads the whole file into RAM).
• Native FFmpeg engine – H.264, H.265/HEVC, VP9, and AV1 encoding with full hardware acceleration.
• Real‑time percentage progress – uses ffprobe to read video duration and displays accurate 0‑100% progress for every file.
• Batch queue – add as many videos as you want; they are compressed sequentially in the background.
• Smart presets & full manual control – Maximum, High, Medium, Low presets, plus a Custom mode that unlocks the CRF slider, resolution picker, codec, container, and audio removal.
• Professional, responsive UI – follows the same design language as ImageSquash Pro, with a purple theme, pill‑shaped navigation, and soft glass‑style cards.
• About page – mission, privacy commitment, tech stack, and open‑source philosophy built right in.
• Desktop landing page – a dedicated website highlighting the 30 GB+ capability and a direct download button for the Windows installer.
• Privacy‑first – zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero network requests after installation. Your videos stay on your own drive.
• Keyboard shortcuts – Ctrl+Enter to compress all, Ctrl+D to export ZIP.
• Footer with copyright and GitHub link present on all screens.

⚙️ How it works

The app is built with Electron (UI) and spawns the FFmpeg binary as a child process. Progress is parsed from FFmpeg’s structured output and displayed in real time via IPC. The complete processing happens offline and never touches the internet.
